I have two wheelchairs that I don't need anymore, and I'd like to give them to people who need them and might not otherwise be able to get one. They're both missing the foot rest parts, because I always tied a strap across there to save space. They're both collapsible.



This one has a tall headrest, and there are releases near the handles on back that allow it to lay back.











The other one is smaller, and doesn't have the head rest or reclining ability. I accidentally deleted the pics of it, but if needed I can take more. This is the one I used for hunting, so it's spent lots of time in duck and deer blinds. Nothing fancy, but both are functional.

I don't know of anyone, but good on you for being willing to donate.  I 'spect wheelchairs are pretty expensive, and this'll probably help some down-on-their-luck family or individual a lot.
If you don't find specific people in need, I'm sure a local nursing home would put them to good use.

OK, I'll see where the nursing home is around here.

I'd be interested in 1 possibly.  The 79yr old mother in law comes to visit for a few months every yr.  We have a small wheeled "transport" chair, but a big wheeled would be better on non paved surfaces.  We usually end up at a family get together, state park, etc several times during her visit.  She can walk around the house, just not any distance and not on uneven surfaces.  I'm an hr west of STL and could pickup.  - JP

JP, I still have the one with the higher back, that can also recline, and you're welcome to it. I'm about 20mi SW of Jefferson City, near the little town of Brazito (off 54 West, towards Lake Of The Ozarks).  I could meet you in Jeff City most anytime, and once per week I go to Fulton if that would help. You could also come all the way to Russellville, if you want. Just let me know.



Edit - I put a couple new pics in there.

Sure, just trying to figure out when I can get to Jeff for pickup.  I also haven't seen any pics as the links aren't working for me.  I dug through your photo bucket but no luck.  Could you send them to jp at johnpinnell dot com?

If you can't pick it up, maybe we could find someone who could take it East from Jeff City.

I need it out of here pretty soon.

Wife says we don't need it.  She's not the one that has to push Granny though  :-)  I can't get out there for pickup anytime soon so I'm bowing out.  Thanks for the offer though. - JP
